White Mist City is shrouded in mist for three months a year, and while it doesn't affect basic life, it does not always make people feel uncomfortable. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Silas Augustine was a wealthy local man, not an aristocrat, just a wealthy ordinary businessman.

"Good morning, Mr. Silas. Every day he hears such a greeting, and instead of saying good morning like he used to, he just nods his head to express it.

Those who are familiar with him can see that in just two years, he seems to be ten years older.

used to walk with his head held high, with inexhaustible strength all over his body, and beat his opponents to the ground in business.

Since his daughter got married, the whole person has changed, and everyone advised him not to be sad and to visit him when he misses it.

In fact, his daughter disappeared, and he did not publicize it, but said that his daughter had married out of town.

The sudden marriage of that beautiful young lady made many men in the city shake their heads and sigh, some of them were really sorry, and some of them regretted not being able to get Silas's property.

Silas has only one daughter, and whoever marries his daughter will also receive his property. Years ago, the local nobles and wealthy people had offered him a marriage contract, but Silas had blocked him on the grounds that his daughter was too young, and he knew very well what those people were thinking.

After two years of searching, he did not bring back any good news, he once thought that his daughter was no longer alive, but he never gave up in his heart, hoping to see each other again one day.

He wandered through the mist and unknowingly came to the docks. He used to come almost every day to inspect the goods, but now most of the time the housekeeper does this.

In the early morning, the wharf was already busy, and many workers took off their coats and wore short sleeves to move and unload goods.

And he still felt cold in his white fluffy leather coat, which he wouldn't have felt like this before.

"Yo, Silas, long time no see. Someone in the mist greeted him, but his tone was less friendly.

"It turned out to be Peel, I didn't expect you to finally have an early day. "Silas doesn't have much affection for this guy.

Peel is another local businessman, and the two have been competing with each other for business, but most of the time Silas has the upper hand. In the past two years, he has neglected to operate, and Peel has no competitors and is dominant.

"Haha, I really envy you for being able to sleep until you wake up naturally every day. Of course, Peel understood what he meant, and in the past, many businesses were stolen by Silas, and busy people naturally got up early. Now that he's busy, Silas is idle, and this sentence can just be pushed back.

"If it were really envious, the Dona family would not be living on the streets. Silas wouldn't believe him.

Dona was another businessman who had been in charge of the salt trade for many years, but one day he was suddenly arrested and hanged on charges of smuggling. In less than a day, Peel took over his business in its entirety, and the rest of the people didn't realize what was happening, and they wanted a piece of the pie but didn't have a chance.

"Dona did something illegal himself, and it's only your delay in discovering his smuggling. If this continues, you should also hand over the position of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, the position will always bring value to someone who has the ability to sit, Mr. Silas, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to lead everyone now. Peel smiled and shook his head, greed and hatred in his smile.

In the past two years, Peel's strength has developed into the first in White Mist City, according to tradition, he can ask for the president to abdicate to him, but many members support Silas to continue to serve, he can only continue to wait, according to the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, the first strength for three consecutive years can directly become the president.

"So that's what you're for. Silas had always known that Peel was concerned about the position of the president, but he didn't expect to do such a despicable thing for this purpose.

Silas felt that he was also responsible for Dona's affairs, and if it weren't for his decadence, Peel wouldn't have had a chance to develop so quickly. One thing he was right, he was too slow, Peel had been plotting in secret for so long, and he would have noticed the anomaly before, and the tragedy of Donna might have been avoided.

"What is the purpose or not, I'm just telling the facts. "Peel wasn't stupid enough to admit he had done something like that.

"Peel, sometimes I don't know what to say about you, but now I think I should say thank you. Silas's eyes slowly ignited the fighting spirit of the beginning.

Back at home, Silas began to reflect on his actions over the past two years. It is true that he has become devastated because of his daughter's disappearance, but when his daughter comes back one day, will his ability still be able to protect her? According to the current trend of the situation, maybe he will become the second Dona, and he will never accept all this.

He summoned the person in charge of his business, even if he hadn't personally handled business for a long time, but the characteristics of a businessman were still there. After a day of discussions, a new business plan is on the agenda, and Peel will definitely not be able to sleep well after a while.

"What business has Peel been running lately?" Silas asked the butler after the people in charge had left, and he had been gathering this information.

"Basically nothing has changed, just suddenly there's an iron ore business. The butler quickly replied that Peel was the object of his focus on gathering intelligence, and that every move would be notified as soon as possible.

"Ore, where did the ore come from?" Silas didn't remember that there were mines nearby, and where they were, they shouldn't sell ore to Whitefog City, as they had better options, and some even built them because of the abundance of ore in the area.

"I remember it was the town of Ravenwood. The butler thought for a moment and replied affirmatively.

"Ravenwood, is that the Northwest town?" Silas wasn't sure, the town was too obscure for even a successful businessman like him.

"Yes, there was another prince who was divided there last year. "The housekeeper did some research on Ravenwood, and the basic information can still be remembered.

"Divide the feud, that kind of place can also be called a fiefdom? Forget it, their royal affairs have nothing to do with us, and now the town produces iron ore, which is also a good thing for us. Silas quickly saw an opportunity.

Iron ore is rare in the Northwest Territories, and most of the iron needed is imported from outside, and several large merchants in the city operate a small portion.

"But the iron ore business is already run by Peel. The housekeeper hurriedly dissuaded, according to the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, it is not allowed to interfere in the business run by others halfway, only when the contract expires, or there is a conflict between them, but this possibility of an event is difficult to happen in the hands of large merchants.

"Ore? Who said I was going to run an ore business. This time, thanks to Peel's pride and carelessness, we were given a great opportunity. I'll have to thank him next time we meet. Silas couldn't wait to see Peel's angry expression.
